Photography

Last black friday I got a LG 360 Cam, a good cost-quality 360 camera. The only problem I am having with the camera is that there isn’t a good solution to where I can share the pictures (if you have a good solution, please share!). Google has released a VrView script that makes it much easier to embed 360 pictures on websites, but you still need to edit some html code.

I decided to make a super simple website that renders pictures uploaded to imgur (saving some space and bandwidth on my server) that anyone can use to easily share 360 pictures with family and friends.

After understanding how the Googles VrVire works, I could transform this:

Into this:

To share the 360 pictures, you need to upload them to www.imgur.com and get the picture-id. For example, the picture above is located at https://imgur.com/up6aRXr where up6aRXr is the picture-id. With the id in hands, you can share this url:

https://www.danielandrade.net/360/PHOTO-ID

for the past example:

https://www.danielandrade.net/360/up6aRXr

The website should open with the image showing in full-page, and same URL you can share on Whatsapp or anywhere else (it is mobile friendly!)

Maybe in a near future I will improve it, making it easier to share from within the phone and also creating galleries, what do you think? Ideas?
